Very nice! love the chipping. I find it can either go well or end up overdone and altho there are large patches of bare metal i love it :D my tanks seem to always end up battle-worn 50 years but yours is really well done, quite jealous actually :D
I just set up the
airbrush and compressor a few days ago due to paints streaking so bad on base coats (like SOOOOO bad!) but i don't have a large collection of water based paints to do hairspray chipping. I just use enamel on a brush 99% of the time. However i really want to try it and see what results i get.
Cant wait to see your next tank/ifv, well done!
[EDIT] Oh yeah, whats the ball of ginger pubes suppose to be? xD
[EDIT2] Ahh its launching a TOW, Well the only downside to the build would be the flames, but i guess its damn near impossible to recreate a static fire. I personally would leave it out. (sorry :P )
[EDIT3] Or add more color to it, some red's yellow's and orange and white. Also stretch it out so its more of a jet of flame and also make it smaller so it doesn't distract from the model its self if that makes sense.
Bradley firing a TOW has a massive jet of fire for a nano second but then its just smoke when its about 2m away. Here's another view of the missile firing.
